Hey guys. Back from the dead (b-ba-b-ba-b-ba-ba-back). Very sorry I couldn't finish The Great Christmas Tour. I had writers block. and then school started again and I lost all inspiration.

But I'm here with a new story! While I'm working out kinks in my College AU (does anyone want to help my name that? I'll give you internet cookies), I decided to start a new project. I have dived deep into the Miraculous fandom and found a particular AU I really liked. The fic is called "Lucky Us." And it is awesome. So I decided to do that with Jay and Nya. So basically they are friends on Tumblr who meet in real life but have no idea who the other is.

Speaking of Tumblr, I have one now. Details in profile, now enjoy the story!

Goooooodddd morning! It's a beautiful day (not it's not). The sun is shining (no it's not), the birds are chirping (no they're not), and we're gonna achieve something great (we probably won't).

Pessimistic thoughts on the city's bipolar weather aside, I actually did accomplish something: I'm finally done moving! Yeah! I'm free to message you all I want now!

At least until I get a job. You know any good places looking for work?

Message from SamuraiSmith:

LM, I have no idea where you live or what you do. So no, I don't.

But congrats! I know how hard it is to move (well, I had my roommate to help me). I look forward to more puns and memes.

Okay the last sentence isn't true, but still good to see you're not dead!

Message from LightningMouth:

You wound me, SS. I know you secretly enjoy our time together. And what makes you think I didn't have help? I have friends, too. And it'll take a lot more than a move to take down this guy.

Message from SamuraiSmith:

This is coming from a guy who's best friend is a lizard.

Message from LightningMouth:

Excuse you, I actually do have a human best friend. And leave my bearded dragon out of this!

Jay rolled his eyes as he hit send. He regretted telling her that bit of info.

SamuraiSmith was a girl he started following on Tumblr who was always posting technological hacks, as well as some fangirling over superhero movies. He had messaged her for more details on one of the hacks, which led to her following him, and then they started the message thread. It was simple questions at first before he started rolling out the memes.

Even after three months, they only knew a little about each other, which was their username stories. She told him about her background as a blacksmith's daughter and her love for the roll of the samurai, and he had told her that people said he talked too much (he also mentioned the lizard thing, which he realized was a mistake).

His thoughts were interrupted by a text from his best friend.

You still coming tonight?

Jay typed up a quick answer.

From: Sparks

You bet.

He pocketed his phone and kept an eye out for places that were hiring. He finally came across one in the form of an auto body shop. Opening the door, he scoped the office out. It was empty, besides the ladder in the center below an open ceiling tile.

"Hello?" He called out.

"Yes?" A feminine voice called out of nowhere.

"I saw that you were hiring and was interested in a job?"

"Oh yeah! My manager will be back in a bit. But I can answer any questions."

"First off, where are you?"

A hand poked out from the ceiling opening, waving at him.

"Sorry about that. I'm trying to fix this stupid air conditioner. No air is coming out of the vent."

"Need any help?" Jay asked.

"Nope. In fact, I've almost-" she was interrupted by the air conditioner starting up. Satisfied, she exited the ceiling and put the tile back. "Got it." Hopping down, she grabbed a rag and started wiping her hands off before approaching him. "I'm Nya." She held her hand out.

"Jay." He shook it, taking in her appearance. She was a petite, Japanese-looking young woman with cropped black hair and beautiful hazel eyes. There were a few grease stains gracing her face, but she still looked pretty in Jay's eyes.

"So tell me, Jay, why'd you choose our small business?" She asked.

"I just saw the hiring sign. I'm pretty good with mechanics."

"Nya, is the AC fixed-"

"Yes sir!"

Jay watched as a middle aged man came from the back room. He had a commanding, yet relaxed, demeanor. Jay guessed this was the manager.

"Excellent." He told her. "You think you can tune up mine at home?"

"Yeah, no." She said. "Doesn't that break some kind of company by-laws?"

"Not if you're doing it as a favor for a family friend." The boss told her.

"Anyways, we have someone interested in a job! This is Jay!" She went behind the desk and pulled out an application to hand to Jay. "Just fill this out and Monty can speak to you-"

"Nya, I'll handle it." Nya pouted but handed 'Monty' the forms and went to put the ladder up.

"So, Jay, what makes you think you're qualified to work here?" Monty asked.

"I am pretty experienced with mechanics. I grew up in a junkyard and studied engineering at college."

As Garmadon interviewed Jay, Nya couldn't help but listen to his answers. He was very similar to her; she had grown up in a blacksmith shop and learned about metal work from her dad. She had also done engineering as her major.

'Maybe we can be friends...'

"I guess you can say, that finishes it!"

'Oh no. Not a car pun.'

Monty laughed at Jay's bad pun. "A boy after my own heart! When do you want to start?"

"Monty, I'm headed out!" Nya called as she clocked out and left before her boss could say anything. Only one thought crossed her mind.

'Now there's two of them.'

When Nya went back to her apartment, she hadn't expected her roommate to be there.

Or her roommate's band, either.

"Am I interrupting something?" Nya asked the group.

"Nope, we were just ending anyways." Bri told her. "See you next week, Stella and Taya."

The guitarist and drummer both said their goodbyes to Bri and Nya and left. After Bri put up her keyboard, she sat down next to Nya on the couch.

"You're home early." She commented.

"Spent an hour trying to fix the AC." Nya replied.

"Ouch."

"Yeah. And I think we're getting a new employee."

"Let me guess. Puns?"

"Puns."

Both girls sighed. Neither of them really liked puns.

Nya had met Bri in college when they ended up being roommates their sophomore year. Even with a rocky start, they ended up becoming best friends. After college, Nya went back to her hometown for a year before coming back to the city. When she saw Bri's request for a roommate on Facebook, Nya didn't hesitate.

"You look like you have something you need to tell me." Nya mentioned after a while.

"Okay, don't get mad." Bri shifted her position to lean on her side. "But Cole's best friend from high school just moved to the city and Cole is throwing a little welcome party. Tonight."

"Great." Nya deadpanned. She wasn't one for parties, even if they were hosted by her best friend's boyfriend.

"Oh, don't be like that. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself." Bri assured her. "Besides, it's just you, me, Cole, his friend, and Zane and Luna."

Now that got Nya's attention. It had been a while since she had seen the couple.

"Alright. I'll go."

Bri squealed in victory and delight. "Okay! Now I have one more dilemma."

"What's that?"

"What kind of drinks I'm going to bring."

That's chapter one. If you have questions, PM or review. But here are some answers.

-It's headcannoned on Tumblr that Jay would own a lizard. So I gave him a lizard.

-Yes, Bri is here, Pixal is not. Haters need not continue.

-Yes, this is post college, they are of drinking age, so that's what Bri is talking about.

Well, that's it for now! Before I go, I should probably mention that I have a job now (I have been searching for thREE MONTHS) and will probably be not as frequent on here. But I will try to update as often as I can.

Till then, this is Gold Medal Ninja.
